Project Summary

Novartis Pakistan engaged DigiTrends Global to build an automation platform for the Pakistan Bait-ul-Maal grant program, establishing a cloud relational database, security infrastructure, and a front-end with registration and NADRA integration. The automation reduced manual delays and provided real-time data; the system has performed well post-implementation with ongoing maintenance by DigiTrends. The team used Agile project management and was noted for consistent communication.

Key Challenges

Manual verification and courier-based processing caused 4-6 month delays in grant approval.
Need to automate identity validation and create cloud database and secure infrastructure to speed up grant disbursement.

Project Deliverables

Relational cloud database
Security infrastructure with encryption
Front-end platform with registration module
NADRA integration
Search and filter features
Grant approval/decline logging
Reporting
Process automation to reduce grant processing time from months to days

Project Solution

DigiTrends deployed a cloud relational database on Azure, built security infrastructure with encryption, and developed a front-end platform (registration, NADRA integration, search/filters, approval logging, reporting). The team used MS.NET and Azure Cloud Services to enable real-time data and to automate identity validation so that grant processing time was reduced from months to days. The vendor provided up to eight resources including PM, frontend and backend developers, a cloud architect, and a business analyst.

Project Outcome

The system performed well after implementation with only minor bugs.
DigiTrends has maintained the system and its upkeep.
The project followed Agile processes; milestones were timely met though there were some testing delays.
